I remember getting this game from my local Hollywood Video like three months before it shut down. One of those games I didn’t fully appreciate until I got older because I was a dumb kid who wanted to play Modern Warfare like everyone else but was stuck with 6th gen consoles. I don’t have much to say about this game except it’s damn near a masterpiece and it’s an absolute shame Free Radical just doesn’t exist anymore.

A little rough around the edges sometimes, but it’s aged exponentially better than something like Goldeneye 007. Really fun game with friends still in the big 2024.

In my humble opinion, one of the best games ever made.

In terms of just sheer variety of gameplay, story, visuals, style, it's hard to think of many games that match up with this.

There's a real magic to the way it bounces so effortlessly from 1930s gangster stuff in Chicago, to Gothic Undead Horror in 1800's Notre dame, to Sci-Fi Terminator-Future War. Each with it's own gameplay, music, visual look, array of time period correct weapons. In Chicago you'll meet an informant, bust up barrels of liquor, whereas in the robot factory you'll control laser-turret cameras, and fight a giant drill-armed machine boss. One is moody with a noir sort of jazz OST, and the other features pounding techno bass.

All this is held up with a tight responsive control scheme, a huge array of unlockable content, a side arcade league mode filled with bots to face off against, challenge mode content. But best of all a full comprehensive multiplayer, that practically never stops being fun.

I can easily return to this game whenever, it's perfect.

TS2 still reigns supreme as the ultimate offline multiplayer FPS.

peaked a little early with the siberia level. it is a very fun and arcadey shooter that knows its thing and does it decently well. little archaic sometimes with its objectives which got annoying by the end. but it was short and sweet and id recommend blasting through it in an afternoon if you have the time.
